‘The woman I’m about to marry’

Prince Harry honoured his bride-to-be Meghan Markle during his first speech as the Queen’s Commonwealth Ambassador.

Following the announcement of Harry’s new challenge, he said: "In my new role I will work to support The Queen, my father The Prince of Wales, and my brother William, all of whom know that young people are the answer to the challenges of today."

He then revealed that his fiance would be working alongside him, adding: "I am also incredibly grateful that the woman I am about to marry, Meghan, will be joining me in this work, of which she too is hugely excited to take part in."

Prince Harry has been given the role as he prepares to step up his royal duties following the May 19 wedding. In it, he will highlight and support the work and aspirations of young people across the Commonwealth.

While it has not yet been announced which causes Meghan will support, royal watches have widely speculated that she will support women’s rights.

During the inaugural Royal Foundation Forum with Prince Harry, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge earlier this year, she was asked how she will focus on the empowerment of women and girls within the royal charitable vehicle.

"What's interesting is, I hear a lot of people - when speaking about girls and women empowerment - you'll often hear people say, 'well, you're helping women finding their voices', and I fundamentally disagree with that," the former Suits star said.
"Women don't need to find a voice. They have a voice, and they need to feel empowered to use it, and people need to be encouraged to listen."
